ATN95DHE* by JICO for Audio Technica AT95E cartridge.

You can now select the widely acclaimed Hyper-Elliptical cut diamond tip for this body style. Hyper-Elliptical is an extreme elliptical tip. In many cases the cartridge for this needle is built in to the tonearm so this is an ecomonical way to go high end without having to replace the entire turntable. The Hyper-Elliptical cut will bring out details that you likely had no idea existed on the record and clearly brings forth information that is compressed away if you have listened to the same music in mp3 format. This is the ATN95HE JICO brand replacement for our AT95HE hybrid cartridge.

Sansui owners Note: The above needle is often confused with our 738 style needle. They are not compatible.

* As of press time, Audio Technica does/did not make a hyperelliptical solution for the AT95E. We developed the use of the part number ATN95DHE to succinctly describe a needle with a hyperelliptical tip for the AT95E body style of phono cartridge. Many manufacturers have developed their own part numbers to describe their branded solutions per the cross reference info below.

This is a great upgrade stylus for the AT95E cartridge. It takes away a lot of the surface noise that appears on the stock stylus. The sound is very clean and smooth. Great customer service from turntableneedles.com also. Highly recommended.

710-DHE

Nice upgrade for the AT-95E which comes with a .4 x .7 bonded tip. It also fits my Clearaudio Virtuoso. Just cut away the plastic wings and it plugs right in.
I also have the 710-DSH shibata that is a little more resolving. I use that on the Virtuoso and this one on the AT-95.

710-DHE

An absolutely outstanding (and apparently the only) upgrade to the stock needle on my AT LP120 turntable. Highly recommended. It all sounds brilliant, but I was particularly struck by the level of clarity and texture in drums and bass guitar - it is astounding.
A+ service and delivery as always.

ATN-95E or 710-DHE

I confess to having been sceptical that this would represent a worthwhile upgrade over the 'genuine article', but I was wrong. When compared with the stock elliptical - IGD is absent and there are worthwhile gains in imaging, separation and in LF weight and dynamics. For listeners of choral, chamber and orchestral works, there is much less HF harshness/edginess. VAT & duty are a disincentive for those in the E.U., but don't hesitate to buy if you or someone you know is visiting the U.S.A.

Mr.

I bought this needle for a cartridge (AT95 or 3400) I got on a 25 year old turntable. This sounds very close to the AT7V I just recently purchased. Great sound! Excellent service, as always.

Good upgrade with excellent information from TurntableNeedles. Has given my Thorens TD280MkII a new lease of life.

Excellent stylus!

Excellent replacement for the stock stylus on the AT-95e. Smoother highs, stronger and tighter lows, better tracking (slightly higher compliance), no sibilance or inner groove distortion. Just be sure to give it 20-30 hours of break-in time, and it makes the AT-95 a high-performance cartridge.
